The Soldier (poem)

in poetry •  7 years ago 

The wind whispers pregnant with fear
Strength and courage l drew them near.
But before them l rattled in fear.
Those thoughts averted, my mind is clear.

Insurgents roaring, doom is near.
The soldier in wait with sword & spear.
The trumpet sound loud & clear,
Clatter of sword and shield is all l hear.

Valor a stranger l held so dear
Mind would not shear when doubt appeared.
Ten thousand may fall right here,
But my soul will rejoice in loud jeer.
Because the soldier came like a peer,
And if it weren't for Him l would not be here.
